Injection for knee pain cause relief only for sometime. Kindly suggest treatment for permanent relief.

Hi doctor,

I am writing this on behalf of my mother. She is 60 years old and weighs about 189 pounds. Her complaint is very extreme pain in the knee (left leg). This issue started one year ago and we consulted orthopedics who applied an injection on her knee after verifying an x-ray report and prescribed a couple of tablets. The doctor said it is a kind of arthritis. There was some relief after that visit. My mother again started facing the same problem last month. Pain is so extreme from inside the knee that she cannot even move her left leg. Her right leg is fine. Kindly prescribe some relief and treatment plans. Please find the written X-ray reports for your understanding:

X-ray of both knee joints:

Marginal osteophytes are seen.

Tibial spines are prominent.

Mild reduction of the medial tibiofemoral joint.

Patellar sour is seen.

No loose bodies are seen in the joint cavities.

No soft tissue swelling is seen around the joints.

Impression: Osteoarthritis.

She is not taking any medicine for the above issue for the past year. However, she is taking tablets for anxiety, blood pressure, and diabetes.
